NYC is a weird place to estimate in exactly this way. It has more of a lot of types of people who have pianos other than families. NYC has a disproportionate number of wealthy people, and also a disproportionate number of professional piani

But that's a broad category. There are a lot of instruments that need repairs and maintenance that are not pianos, and they tend not to cross instrument categories, or even individual instruments. A flute repair person will not likely also

I probably shouldn't have upvoted you, but that really sums up my feeling. Ebert was another old man who I loved, and they seem to keep dying. Which makes sense. Maurice Sendak, Kurt Vonnegut, Paul Newman, my Grandpa... folks who populated

The summer I was 13 I went to summer camp in Minnesota, and one clear night the counselors took us in a bus out away from the camp, to a hilltop, and we lay on our backs and looked up. I could see the band of the milky way across the sky, a

People often talk about the impossibility of armed revolt in a modern nuclear state. "You'd be killed on the first day," they tell me (not that I'm advocating armed revolt here, just to be clear). What they forget is that an armed revolt in

Hmm, I wasn't exactly thinking of it as sarcasm when I wrote it, more pointing out what trek seemed to be expecting, which seemed unreasonable to me. But I guess doing that amounts to the same thing as sarcasm. Fist bump* in return.

I used to do freelance work in a big open office setup with a lot of different companies all owned by the same big holding company. Once or twice a week one of the partners of the parent company would come in with a box of brownies or some

This is a long time after, and maybe you won't see my response. But in fact for most of my adult life I have been dirt poor. I scraped by for years as a freelance musician. The decision I made as a high school student was that money wasn'
